About Pine Street Inn

Pine Street Inn opened its doors in 1969. Over more than five decades, it has grown into New England's largest nonprofit homeless services provider.

Throughout the '80s and '90s, Pine Street expanded from offering basic necessities—food, clothing, shelter, and health care—to offering programs that help guests take significant steps in their journey out of homelessness and regain some of what they have lost:
relationships, life skills, employment, and housing.

In the past ten years, Pine Street has significantly expanded its inventory of permanent supportive housing to provide lasting solutions to homelessness.

Pine

Street is about to surpass the milestone of

1,000 units of housing, with more on the way.

Pine Street's programs include:
-
Permanent Supportive Housing - 960 individuals live in 38 residences and housing units throughout Greater Boston. The program for tenants follows a supportive housing model - permanent housing coupled with on-site support staff to help each individual regain their highest level of independence. Specialized housing is available for seniors, adults with mental health disabilities, and veterans. Pine Street currently has a housing retention rate of 96%.
-
Emergency Shelter

Each night, Pine Street Inn operates four emergency shelters. Each offers a warm and safe bed, nutritious meals, and shower and locker facilities, as well as access to health care, substance use treatment and mental health support. Innovative new programs such as Triage and Rapid Rehousing are creating new paths out of Pine Street's shelters and into the stability of housing.
